Meet Janet Routledge: B.C. NDP

IN HER OWN WORDS

My husband and I have lived in Burnaby North for 20 years. My son and his wife are raising their children here too. I am a lifelong social justice organizer.

WE ASKED

We asked each of the candidates four questions, with a 30-word limit on answers (answers that went over the word limit have been cut and indicated with an asterisk *). Here’s what Routledge said:

BIGGEST SUCCESS IN LIFE?

I have become an accomplished artist. I view creativity is an important leadership skill. To build a better world one must be able to imagine one.

BIGGEST FAILURE OR REGRET IN LIFE?

I regret that I didn’t travel more when I was young. There are so many cultures yet to be explored.  

 WHY I WOULD MAKE A GREAT MLA

My motto: democracy is not a spectator sport. I intend to draw on my extensive experience as a facilitator and advocate to engage Burnaby North in the political process.

FAVOURITE BOOK OR MOVIE?

Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver
